Braves Development Signs Four New Tenants at The Battery Atlanta

Atlanta — Braves Development Co. (BDC) has signed four new tenants to The Battery Atlanta in Cobb County.

The 1.5 million-square-foot mixed-use development surrounds SunTrust Park, home ballpark for the Atlanta Braves, which opened in April 2017. The VOID, a social activity that combines virtual reality technology, physical stages and multi-sensory effects, will open a 9,000-square-foot space adjacent to the Coca-Cola Roxy music venue. Scheduled to open in 2019, the space will mark The VOID’s first location in Georgia. Rock/Creek, an outdoor industry retailer, will open a 17,000-square-foot store that carries gear for sports such as kayaking, rock climbing, camping and hiking. Rock/Creek is scheduled to open at the development in 2019. Escape room concept The Escape Game will open a 5,000-square-foot space in 2019. The fourth tenant, Allure Nail Bar, will open a 3,100-square-foot location. Gary Lewis of Gary Lewis & Associates Real Estate represented BDC in the lease transactions with The VOID, Rock/Creek and The Escape Game. JLL assisted with the Allure Nail Bar lease.

Much of the spotlight surrounding in-demand tenants at today's shopping centers is focused on food and beverage and entertainment users.
This is a solid strategy, agrees Steven Maksin, founder and CEO…
